Appearance due on or before May 5, 2020; Corporate Disclosure Statements due on or before
May 5, 2020; Consolidated Responses due on or before May 12, 2020; and Reply, if any, due on

the Motion by asking that the Panel hear the Motion at a hearing scheduled for May 28, 2020.
3. On May 4, 2020, the Panel denied that request for expedited consideration, stating
that "[t]he Panel considers all motions in due course and is not persuaded to depart from its long-
standing practice."
4. The next hearing before the Panel is July 30, 2020, at which time the Motion will

consolidation is sought.
10. Under these circumstances, Defendants and impacted parties need additional time
to analyze and evaluate the Motion.
11. This three (3) week extension of dates will not result in any prejudice:
a. The Motion is to be heard by the Panel at the July 30, 2020 hearing.
b. The time for any Reply has been extended.
c. All briefing will have been completed more than six weeks before the July 30, 2020
